Looking for accommodation with a difference in Bangkok? Here’s the place
| ONE of Bangkok’s busiest suburbs is home to an eye-popping low-rise resort that would not be out of place on one of Thailand’s pristine islands. Comprising a total of 15 self-contained chalets surrounded by trees and plants, Resort M Bangkok is located some 300 metres down a quiet residential lane connected to Sukhumvit Soi 81 in Phra Khanong, close to the BTS Skytrain station of On Nut. |  |
Opened last month, the resort’s unusual beach-style design is in stark contrast to the growing number of traditional hotels and guesthouses now open in this busy area of Bangkok.
Although only eleven of its one-storey chalets are currently available, the resort is already packed with mostly western tourists who enjoy its alternative character and surprisingly large swimming pool. The other four chalets and a restaurant are due to open soon.
Each room has a private bathroom and balcony, along with a flat-screen TV, plus tea and coffee making facilities.
The chalets are actually ready-built units trucked into the resort’s spacious compound and then equipped on site with guests’ amenities.
Special introductory room rates at Resort M are comparable to those charged by other hotels in the area. Single or double chalets cost B1,200 a night, while the triple is B1,500 and deluxe quadruple is B1,800.
Bookings are available only online via booking.com.
